LONDON JOURNALS. [FRONI THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.] [Morning Herald.] ' THE QUEEN. " Kew,, Eight o'Clock, Oct. 22. " After our dispatch was sent off last niftitt, the Queen became somewhat more at ease; and Henry Sir r Halford, in consequence, took the op r„,, unity of visiting the Princess Sophia. Her 'Majesty afterwards slept several hours, and it was rxpected, that she would have found het self re .lO-,ed by this repose; but when Sir Francis Nlil man visi►ed the Royal Chamber, at eight o'clock this morning, no beneficial effect had been pro duced. " Sir Henry Halford returned from Windsor between eleven and twelve o'clock, and shortly afterwards Sir Francis Milman went to Pinner for a few flouts. " - The Prince Regent arrived from Brighton at 'tsix o'clock, accompanied by Sir Benjamin Bloom field, and after receiving the evening report of the Physicians, his Royal Highness remained to din ner with the Princesses. " The Duke of York also visited the Palace in the course of the day, but neither the Prince Regent nor the Royal Duke saw her Majesty.— She was too much exhausted to receive them. • " The Princesses again spent several hours on the lawn ; and gave a variety of further minor directions to the workmen. Their Royal Highnesses also received visits front the Dowager Countess of Cardigan, the Countess of Harcourt, and Miss first. • " Up to seven o'clock to-night, her Majesty remained without any amendment whatever, and, from her restlessness through the day, an unta vourable night was anticipated. " Sir Henry Halford only remains in attend ance, but Sir Francis Milman is expected to join him in the course of the night." [New Times.] FINANCE. The annexed Financial Statement has been transmitted to us by a Correspondent, and as it appears to be calculated on a fair principle, we rradily give it insertion, not meaning however to pledge ourselves to the exact estimates therein contained. It must be evident that all contingent reasonings of this kind are liable to considerable diversity of opinion in their details. The general result, however, we'conceive, will be found to be not very distant from the truth, in case no un favourable occurrences should interfere with the present course of our prosperity : In reference to the Public Expenditure of the United King dom, as deduced from the Official Statements given for the Years ending sth January 1817 and 1818, and intended to thew the probable, or progressive decrease of our Expendi ture for the Years 1819, 1820, as compared with the Years 1816 and 1817, thus leaving the current Year 1818 as the medium data : SAVINGS.--In the Navy, fur 1819, 1820 ...... 1,500,000 In the Army, including Ordnance,l Sale of Horses and Stores, and I 6,000,000 Extraordinary Services, Foreign i Sz Troops, e In the Civil Department 800,000 In Imperial and other Life Annuities } 700,000 fallen in In the New Silver Coinage 500,000 IN NOTES.—In Subsidies to Spain and Portugal,} 800,000 .Slave Abolition For Building Churches For Employment of the Poor SAVING.-..---In Interest on the National Debt, Es chequerßills, the Reduction of the 5,500,000 5 per Cents. &c k 17 ,kOO,OOO Surplus Revenue in ISIS Probable increased Revenue in IRI 9.

[The Times.] SPAIN. MADRID, OCT. s.—King Ferdinand begins al rerdy to undergo the reaction of his errors; he distrusts every thing ; and gives orders and coun ter-orders almost at the same time. On the change of the Ministers, the only ones who remained in their situations were Messrs. Eqnia and Lozano ; and Now their dismissal is spoken of, for their successors are designated ; M. Carbaial, as Mi nister at War (he filled this place at the time of the Regency, called by nickname el quintillo) ; and M. Arias Prada, for the Department of Justice, in which, no doubt, he will cause all his prede cessors to be regretted, until he be succeeded by another. The greatest proof that I can give you of the King's perplexity, and of the confusion under which he is labouring, is the following case :—On Tuesday or Wednesday of the last week, his Majesty sent down to the Cvtain-Ge neral of this province a list, comprising the names of 60 persons, who were suspected by the Kin;;, and who were to he sent in consequence under escort to several distant towns of the kingdom. — This blow, however, was not struck for two rea sons—first, because there were not troops enough in readiness to compose the several escorts ; and secondly, on account of the interposition of the gracious influence of the Queen, who also re monstrated with hint, that such attempts t+•ere only calculated to increase the number of discon tents. The King then recalled the list, and tore it into pieces. The opinion already general in the smallest villages is against the Government ; and evert the most insensible of the people say that it is not possible to endure such grievances much longer. A politician of the time of the reign of Elizabeth and Ferdinand said, " that when people dare to talk, they also dare to exe cute :"—Quando los pueblos osan decir, osun tambien facer. To put a check to the public complaints and marmors - , a Royal ordinance was issued about a monih ago, recommending to the Court of Al caldes de Casa y Corte, the utmost vigilance to prevent conversations against his Majesty and his Government, or account of the scandalous manner in which people expressed themselves towards the King and his measures. Accord ingly, the Court gave its strictest orders on the matter to the Alcaldes de Barrio; and a police of the most frightful description, and entirely on the French model (the only thing which, it seems, they have learned from that country), has been set on foot, .and it is acting now unrelentingly. Amongst the agents of this infamous branch of servied',are reckoted some officers of the army : the principal are,Wrenchtnan, an officer in the Spanish service M. Computykietiitanish mili tary man; anti the well-known Le:7m, a book seller, from Seville. A Colonel Diesti, it is said, acts as the chief of the spies and informers : no money, is spared for this service; and the Colonel, it is whispered, has been appointed to a situation in the King's Household, as a reward for his ser vices. Another part of this system of espionage is carried on by the Coiregidor (Mayor) of Ma drid, M. Arjona, who makes us recollect the times of Arribas and Satini.* An abominable instance of the spy-system has here taken place. An ex-officer in the Spanish service, well known kir his swindlings and impo sitions at Paris and London, and a reputed agent of the Spanish Embassy at Paris for certain petty business, made his appearance here some time ago. The circumstance of being the son of a l'atriot, imprisoned in Galicia, and respectable for his learning and misfortunes, was a recom mendation for the son with every good Spaniard. He was imprisoned (really, or as a blind), in the barrack of St. Nicholas in this capital, wherefrom it is supposed that Baron de Tenet, a person of generous sentiments, afforded him the means to escape. Being free, the suppositions prisoner di rected his way to Estremadm a, where it seems he excited the feelings of compassion and generosity of Don Lorenzo Calvo tle , Rozas, formerly a Member of ihe Junta Central, banished to Tala vera, and of Don Josef Gallardo, a proprietor of the district of La Serena, and brother to the late Librarian of the Cortes. The fugitive, having succeeded so far, was again taken into custody in Estremadura, and he denounced his benefactors. The Baron, M. Calvo, and M. Gallardo, were sur prised, and conveyed, with great noise and under a strong escort, to the Castle of Villaviciosa, fa mous for having been the place in which the Prince of the Peace was imprisoned. There the perfi dious informer was kept for a little time, playing the part of a mouton ; but now he has been con veyed to this metropolis. The public opinion here is, that the whole of this plot was a scheme to entrap the worthy persons alluded to. 1, Two notorious Chiefs of the department of the Police, during the French domination.

HER MAJESTY.—The following Bulletin was issued this morning : " Km PALACE, OCT. 24. " The QUEEN'S complaint remains the same. Her MAJESTY has bad some good sleep in the night. (Signed) " H. HALFORD." We received this morning the Paris Papers of Wednesday last. The following are extracts : " PARts, OcT. 2.1 .—Yesterday morning, before mass, the King received at n private audience the Count de Gultz, Envoy Extraordinary and Mini ster Plenipotentiary from the Court of Berlin, who had the honour of delivering to his Majesty a letter from his Sovereign: " The King afterwards transacted business with the Minister of the Interior, and then took an airing to the canal of l'Ourcq. On his return, his Majesty called at I'Elys4e Bourbon to visit the Duchess de Berry, whose health continues in the most satisfactory state. " M. Blot de Chauvigny has been arrested as being inc►►lpated in the charges against the Baron Cannel, M. M. de Ron►illy and de Rieux Songy. He had previously been examined as a witness respecting the same atfair. " In the Department of Haut-Rhin the Army of Occupation has made every preparation for departure. By the 16th all the Hospitals were to he evacuated, except the two principal ones of Colmar and Haguenau. The 17th there was to be a general di,location of the troops of time Aus trian Corps d'Arm6e, which would approach nearer the head-quarters, and occupy a line ex tending from Mulhausen to Hagnenau. The troops, it is said, will march along the Rhine, to the bridge of Sponeck, and then proceed to Aus tria by the way of Friburg, Neustadt, Stuttgard, and Munich. " It is now considered ns certain that the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia will leave Aix-la-Chapelle the 20th inst. to go to the Review, and it is thought they will arrive on the 28th at Paris. " The troops of the garrison of Paris were ordered the day before yesterday to keep close within their barracks. The object of, this mea sure is believed to be to discover the persons con cerned in some affrays between some of the sol diers beyond the walls of Paris. " M. Bertrand de Molleville, Minister of Ma rine, under Louis XVI. died the day before yes terday at Paris, aged 74. FIVE PER CENTS. Tuesday . 75 f. 75c. DEFERRED STOCK.

Aix-LA-CH APELLE, OCT. 16.—The departure of the Sovereigns for the head-quarters of the Army appears to be finally fixed for Sunday evening next. " There was no regular Conference yesterday, and it is thought there will not be one to-morrow, nor until the departure of the two Monarchs.— The Ministers will then resume the Conferences to arrange the decisions, which are to be sanction ed by their Majesties on their return. " OCT. 17.—The ratification of the Conven tion for the evacuation and liberation of France arrived, it is said, yesterday front Paris. " To-morrow the Sovereigns give, at the town house, a grand dinner to the Officers. The So vereigns have now altered their determination re specting departure. The King of Prussia does not set out till Monday ; the Emperor of Russia on Tuesday. STUTTGARD, OCT. 14.—The Empress Dow ager of Russia arrived here this evening. " VALENCIENNES, OCT. 19.—The Staff of the Emperor of Russia and of the King of Prussia ar rived here yesterday. " The Commandants of Quesnoy, Maubeuge, Bouchain, &c. have arrived at Valenciennes, to receive the Emperor of Russia. " All the English troops which were in garri son at Cambray, Bouchain, Valenciennes, &c. and the Hanoverians who were at Conde an Saint Amans, are marching to the camp at Famars. " To-morrow the French Officers of Engineers resume possession of Valenciennes and other for- resses. " The Duke of Wellington will give Fetes for hree successive days to the Sovereigns." It appears to be strongly rumoured on the Continent, that the Son of the rightful Monarch of Sweden will be chosen to succeed to the ter ritories of the Grand Duke of BADEN, who has no male heirs. This arrangement, with the con currence and sanction of the Allied Powers, will give satisfaction to all Europe, and those Powers will then in some measure atone for not hav ing resolutely interposed to restore a Monarch to his Throne, who lost it because he had the firmness to resist the infamous career of the French Usurper, and who has the mortification to see that Crown which he ought to have re gained in possession of one of the chief assistants of the execrable Usurper who is so much pitied by Jacobins and all other ambitious scoundrels. We yesterday animadverted upon the improbs biliry of the report that private and serious diffe rences bad occurred between the Emperor of liussiA and the King of PRUSSIA, and on the folly of supposing, that if such differences really existed, they were likely to become a sub ject for Newspaper discussion. We now find by a paragraph it) The Morning Chronicle of this day, written with pointed pleasantry (for we acknowledge the talents though we condemn the principles of that Paper), that the report in, question has been contradicted in the very quarter whence it is said to have issued. THE FUNDS.—This morning Consols opened at 771.; the Market was very heavy yesterday, the 3 per cents. were at 771, but finally left off at 77i; an immense number of heavy sales took place yesterday afternoon, the same plan has been pursued this morning by some of the most respect able Brokers in the house. MANCH ESTER, OCT. 22.—A Parish Meeting was held yesterday in this town, an d was attended by a most numerous and respectable assembly. It took place in the Collegiate Church, where, after passing the usual customary accounts for the last three months, the Chairman, Mr. BIRLLy, con gratulated the Meeting on the moderate expeoccs incurred, considering the late disturbances in the town ; after which, a motion was made, that the Thanks of that respectable Meeting be given to the Magistrates of Manchester, for their exertions in keeping the public peace during the late trou blesome times.
